点评:This was certainly one of our favorite hikes in the Big Bend area off Hwy 170. It is truly spectacular as the other reviewers below describe. But, what I want my review to do is simply warn people when to stop hiking. The canyon trail itself narrows gradually downward towards the Rio Grande for only about 3/4's of an easy mile. You will traverse six or seven mostly dry "pour-offs" of increasing steepness along the route that are fun to navigate, especially by sitting down and sliding. These pour-offs continue to get steeper the further down the trail you go, from one to 6 or more feet. It's actually a bit easier to climb back up on your way out, and we saw many people in their sixties and seventies hiking successfully. BUT - you will eventually come to a chain sign that reads, "End of Trail". This sign is there for a reason. Believe them. Pour-offs from that point are said to get rugged and very steep on their way to the river with legitimate reports of serious mishaps happening to people who try to go all the way to the river anyway. If someone had just told me, "Stop at the last shoot ABOVE the sign", I wouldn't have gotten stuck and unable to get myself back out. Had my husband not been there to pull me up, or hadn't been as strong, I wouldn't have been able to climb back out on my own. Read the Park Info on this trail. But DO go. The trail is spectacular. And easy for all ages, young and old, as long as the park's guidelines for stopping are respected.
翻译:这绝对是我们在 170 号高速公路旁大弯地区最喜欢的徒步旅行之一。正如下面的其他评论者所描述的那样,它真的很壮观。但是,我希望我的评论能做的只是提醒人们何时停止徒步旅行。峡谷小径本身朝向格兰德河逐渐向下变窄,只有大约 3/4 英里。沿途您将穿越六七个大多干燥的“倾泻而下”的斜坡,坡度越来越陡,很有趣,尤其是坐下来滑行。这些倾泻而下的速度越快,坡度就越陡,从一英尺到六英尺甚至更高。在你出去的路上爬回去其实要容易一些,我们看到许多六七十岁的人成功徒步旅行了。但是 - 你最终会看到一个链式标志,上面写着“小径尽头”。这个标志的存在是有原因的。相信他们。据说,从那里流下的溪水在流向河流的路上变得崎岖而陡峭,有报道称,那些试图一路走到河边的人发生了严重的事故。如果有人告诉我,“在标志牌上方的最后一处水道停下”,我就不会被困住,无法自己爬出来。如果我丈夫当时没有把我拉上来,或者没有那么强壮,我就无法自己爬回去。阅读这条小径的公园信息。但一定要去。这条小径风景秀丽。只要遵守公园的停车指南,无论老少,都可以轻松行走。
